Does the whole
hype and hoopla around Valentine's Day make you nauseous? Do you hate the
stigma around being single, especially on Valentine's Day? Do you wish to spend
this rather commercialized holiday in a meaningful way? Here are fifteen great
ideas to help you make your day both relevant and worthwhile.
Pet Day
Do you have a
pet? If yes, this can be your day to show your pet how much you love them.
Spend time with them. Take them out for a day picnic, play frisbee, trek, run,
go camping, really there’s so much you can do. Spend the day with your pet,
you’ll love as much as they do, if not more.
A Day With Your Parents
If Valentine's
Day is about love, this is one love that is so due. Go see your parents, spend
the day with them, take them out for a nice dinner, or watch some TV with them
just like you did when you were small. Just spend some quality time with them,
you won’t regret it.
Go Shopping
Just take an
estimate of how much money you saved by not being in a relationship, that’s
your bonus. Go splurge on yourself. Check where do they have the best
discounts, dig coupons and spend the whole day shopping. Spoil yourself!
Spend the Day at a Charity
Visit a
retirement home or children’s hospital. Spend some time with people who are
craving company more than anything.
Pamper Yourself With a Spa Day
Again, kudos on
having saved that money. Spend all of it on yourself. Pamper yourself at a spa,
get massage, facial and a whole lot of services. Or, get spa supplies at home
and turn your home into a spa for the day.
Bake Treats
If you are fond
of baking, this is what you should do. If you’ve never tried your hand at it,
this is definitely what you should do. Baking is satisfying and who knows, you
might just get yourself a hobby.
Movie Marathon
Don’t try to
pretend to be happy about being single, when really you are sad. Just go with
the flow. Get feel-good food, line up lift-me-up movies and there you are.
Sweat It In The Gym
How many times do
you feel you don’t get enough time in gym. Well, this is it. You have the day
to yourself, might as well use it. A good workout will also help release
happy-hormones.
Babysit
Might as well
earn some money. There are a whole lot of people who would be ready to pay
premium for a baby sitter for 14th night.
Become a Tourist
How many times
have you been to the most popular tourist attractions in your town? Dawn you
vacation clothes, pick up a funny accent and go explore.
Go on a Blind Date
Not a bad idea,
right? It’s a great day for two singles to come together, who knows you might
just find the one.
Unplug
Sick of
Valentine's Day updates on social media. Keep your phone and laptop away. Don’t
take any calls. Go in nature, or watch TV. Unplug and unwind.
Get a Makeover
Color your hair.
Get a haircut. Make some change. Get a makeover done.
Spend The Day With Nature
Go trekking or
biking. Spend the day in the park just looking around. Go to the beach, close
your eyes and let the ocean talk to you. Nature can be so satisfying, you’ll
love it.
Sleep In
So many times we
wish we could just sleep the entire day. Well, this can be the day. Keep food
close to your bed. Just eat and sleep. It’ll be awesome.
